YAMAHA XT250 A brand new look for a famous old name. When it comes to good honest on/off road capability and good times that last …and last, you can’t beat a Yamaha XT250. The new evolution of Yamaha’s cult classic has been completely updated to reach the highest level ever for this category – all without compromising the simple, rock-solid dependability for which Yamaha XTs are famous. The new, larger capacity 249cc engine is stronger and more responsive, and comes mounted to an all new chassis with a whole new level or braking, handling and suspension performance. Fuel-efficient all-road expertise doesn’t get more useable nor affordable than this. All new 249cc air-cooled, SOHC, 2-valve, 4-stroke engine has a new bore x stroke of 74.0 x 58.0 mm, and a compression ratio of 9.5:1. Engine is tuned to be outstandingly easy to use, even at walking speed, with excellent drivability in the mid- to high-speed ranges. Producing maximum power at 7500rpm and maximum torque at 6500 rpm, the new engine is characterised by sharp throttle response and smooth torque across the entire rpm range. Lightweight forged piston and plated cylinder contribute to engine responsiveness across the rpm range and excellent heat-dissipation characteristics. New 33mm vacuum carburettor enables smooth rpm development even in the case of low revs at large throttle openings (eg hill climbing). Plus environment friendly performance clears the latest emissions standards. New semi-double cradle frame is designed to optimise lateral and torsional rigidity, and contribute mass centralisation. New front suspension features improved damping and rigidity balance for better comfort and feel. Lightweight aluminium under-bracket and meter assembly significantly lighten front end to improve handling. Plush early and mid-range monocross suspension travel is complemented by a gradually stronger, more resistant cushioning at fuller compression for a comfortable ride and lighter, more agile machine. A new rear disc and an improved front disc brake provide excellent stopping power, feel and modulation… perfect for commuting or technical off-road riding. Tight turning angle and short wheelbase provides a small turning radius of 1.9 metres. Outstanding manoeuvrability for the bush or the car park. |

YAMAHA XT660Z TENERE The name Ténéré has been synonymous with off road adventures ever since the original dual sport machine was first launched in the early 1980s. Developed from Yamaha’s highly successful Dakar race-winning factory bikes, the original Ténéré models built up a huge following of loyal owners during the 1980s and 90s. With an unrivalled reputation for durability, strong on and off road performance, high levels of long-distance comfort, and the ability to handle hostile off road terrain, the machine was one of Yamaha’s best-selling models and a favourite for tackling harsh conditions. Such was its ‘go-anywhere, do-anything’ reputation, that it became the machine of choice for numerous round-the-world travellers, and to this day the original Ténéré and its successors have probably clocked up more orbits of the earth than any other single-cylinder motorcycle. And at the same time as being the number one choice with adventure-seekers, the original Ténéré also became a favourite with riders looking for a tough, reliable and stylish all-rounder that could perform well in almost any environment. The all-new XTZ660 Tenere that is designed to offer a new generation of adventure-seeking riders the opportunity to explore a new world of possibilities.

YAMAHA XT1200 SUPER TENERE The new XTZ1200 inherits the spirit of the legendary Ténéré models that drove an era of Yamaha dominance during the 1980s and ’90s in the Dakar Rally, widely known as the world’s most demanding endurance rally. The Super Ténéré is designed to achieve a high-level balance of the qualities riders want in an intercontinental long-distance touring, including: (1) Unmatched long distance capability (2) Excellent dirt road performance (3) Light and agile cornering on mountain roads To realise the three qualities mentioned above, the engine and chassis were designed from scratch with developmental efforts focused on a centralised of mass chassis design, lower centre of gravity and the desired level of front wheel weight distribution. Powered by a newly developed liquid-cooled 4-stroke 1199cc in-line twin cylinder engine, the XTZ1200 bristles with new control technologies aimed at offering outstanding long-distance touring performance. The in-line twin-cylinder engine with a 270-degree crankshaft and 4-valve DOHC head sports a side-mounted radiator that contributes to centralisation of machine mass and mounted on a new frame.
